Guess what, y'all? Spring is almost here, and that means refreshing drinks are a MUST. Luckily, Thump KegTM Brewing Co. is here to the rescue with their debut beers: Agave Amber Ale and Rye IPA. They were kind enough to send me a sample of the Agave Amber Ale. And let me tell you, it's quite delightful.

Both brews combine inventive beer styles with the ingredients used to distill spirits--the Agave Amber Ale is brewed with the signature blue agave from Peligroso Tequila, and the Rye IPA incorporates the same grains used in the distillation of George Dickel Whisky. Neither beer contains any level of tequila or whisky, but at least in the case of the Agave Amber Ale, there was a nice crisp flavor.

The beers will be available in four test markets at an SRP of $9.49/6 pack. Check out your local neighborhood store soon. After all, you may just have a new drink to enjoy.
